Here is the only truth:  "We are the pawns of the mysterious game of chess played by God,  who moves us,  stops us,  shifts us ahead,  and soon picks us up one after the other and gathers us in the same box of  Nothing."

"Chess grips its exponent, shackling the mind and brain so that the inner freedom and independence of even the strongest character cannot remain unaffected."  Albert Einstein
"Imagination does not breed insanity. Exactly what does breed insanity is reason.  Poets do not go mad;  but chess-players do".
—Chesterton, The Maniac (1908).

is doing what is impossible
 for  talent"
   Amiel
"the chess playing of a master ties him to the game, fetters his mind and shapes it to a certain extent so that his internal freedom and ease, no matter how strong he is, must inevitably be affected."  Spinoza
"One bad move nullifies 40 good moves."  Horowitz
"The older I grow, the more I value my pawns."  Keres
"Morphy was probably the greatest genius of them all."  Fischer

Fuerstman Leads Top; Frazier Lower Section of Seafarer VII
Charlotte, NC 2-25-09:  A slightly lighter turnout of 10 of the most celebrated strike breakers in the Queen City gathered at this union hall more commonly known as the Seafarer (Just look for the 3-D Whale) in order to participate in Rd:3 of Seafarer VII. In the Top Section, the CCC's #3 player, the pride of Mint Hill, NM Leland "Ennui" Fuerstman (2011) survived a lively skirmish versus Slobodan "the Mad Serb" Sinanovic (1807) who had actually won their last two encounters (See Game 0782), to lead with 2.5-.5. In the "B" Section, Daryl "Flash" Gordon (1619) successfully returned to CCC competition with a nice win over Michael "Xan" Alexander (1438) to share the lead with Tom "Terrific" Hales each with 1-0. In the "C" Section, Winfred "Guns" Gatlin (1451) bested "Smokin" Corey Frazier (1312) to share the lead with Alexander each with 1 point. In the Lower Section, Jody "T" Rex (Unr) won his very first tournament game against Lee "Roger" Moore (1224) but trails Frazier who has 2-1. In order to observe all results see "Current Crosstable" (The facility was great! Everybody was happy! We hope that more players will join us next Wednesday to dine, socialize and play chess!) -  Long live the CCC! -  Quark XI - Apr 18!
